Paul has said publicly, more than once, that all the P cars will "regrettably be destroyed." Betchya he changes his mind on that!

The first vehicles off the line will also be preproduction. Once they are happy with how the line works the crash test vehicles will get randomly picked by the testing agency. The prototypes are to validate the design prior to manufacture.

EM is going to crash some of the P series -- they've said so often. As John has pointed out, the NTSB doesn't test auto cycles or motorcycles at present -- and such tests are done on randomly selected production vehicles. Elio's strategy is to pay a private firm to duplicate the NTSB tests (in so far as you can with a 3 wheel vehicle; the protocols can't be exactly the same), and so lay the basis for a claim of 5-star crash worthiness. This testing will be on P-series cars, not cars off the line. Why? They want to be sure the computer modeling is lived up to in reality and make design adjustments if needed to insure that it does.

It would be better by far if the gov't actually would test the cars, and that may be something Elio is working on.

I sent an email to Paul Elio suggesting he keep all his early prototypes for the Elio museum.

Not clear on how they are aproching this.
Is the P5 going to be used to set up the assembly line in Shreveport when the like what they have? And they make the 24 Ps there?
Or is it going to just be the first of 24 more hand built jobs. Then they start runing them off the line.
Or is it a little of both.

Do you have a source for this?
